The image generated by an off-center projector appears distorted (Figure 1, left). Using an uncalibrated camera pointed at the presentation screen, our system automatically recovers the projector-to-screen homography and pre-warps the computer output to produce a keystone-corrected image (Figure 1, right). This allows the presenter to place the microportable projector anywhere in the room witho...

The conversion of α-benzocycloalkenones to homologous β-benzocycloalkenones containing six, seven and eight-membered rings is reported. This was accomplished via a Wittig olefination-oxidative rearrangement sequence using [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]-benzene (HTIB) is the oxidant, that enables the synthesis of regioisomeric pairs of methyl-substituted β-benzocycloalkenones. The incorporation of carb...

Planetarium technology is steadily shifting from opto-mechanical based projection to digital projection. This technology shift allows the consolidation of many individual projection sources into a single full-dome video-based display and image generation system. This shift is having a profound effect on planetarium show production, educational tools, theater automation, system maintenance, equi...
